Chapter 49: Deliverance (2)
Wei Wenjie was most disgusted with Wei Chilin's old man saying that he was stupid, and when he heard this, he was immediately indignant, and deliberately threw the piece of paper that Wei Chilin threw to him on the table, and said angrily: "Yes, I am stupid, compared with your old scheming, I am naturally too far behind, I am stupid and can't guess your old man's thoughts, if you don't make it clear today, I won't be a gun for you, those turtle grandsons have hurt so many of my brothers, and I have lost such a big person, I won't be willing to give up, If you want to get a few random people to fool around, you want to give this thing, I don't agree, if those turtle grandsons are really sent by you, then please give me a reasonable explanation, if you don't send them, then don't stop me from finding someone to take revenge, and don't meddle in this matter anymore, I will definitely be able to find them out with my own ability. β
Although Wei Chilin was angry and annoyed, he also knew his son's temper, although he also had the heart to let Wei Wenjie suffer a little, so that this stupid son who didn't know the height of the sky could learn a lesson, so that he could eat a trench and grow wise, but after all, the situation was serious, if he let this only son go, he would not be ruthless after all, in desperation, he had to shake his head secretly, and after sighing deeply, he tried his best to ease his tone and said: "If you want to find someone to avenge with your own ability, then you have to save your own life and your army first!" If you don't have a small life, what do you use to find someone? There is no hussar battalion, why should you take revenge? β
Wei Wenjie was stunned for a long time by Wei Chilin's words, and then showed a more puzzled expression, "Dad, what do you mean by this?" Can you make it clear? β
Wei Chilin shook his head helplessly again, and said patiently: "Since you know that there has been such a big commotion, do you think the current saint will not pursue this matter?" If such a major event happens in the capital, if the emperor wants to be held accountable, none of the generals in charge of guarding the capital will be able to escape! You should know that the emperor's jealousy of my Wei family is no longer a matter of one or two days, and the intention of cutting my Wei family's military power has long been laid out in the open! The power of the palace guards has already been taken away by the emperor, and he doesn't know how much thought he has spent on the military power of the defenders of the capital, if it weren't for your father and I have always held it firmly in my hands, plus among the defending generals in the capital, either those who have received the favor of my Wei family, or the brothers who have followed your father and your second uncle to birth and death, are all loyal to my Wei family, and it can be said that they are all your father's henchmen, so the emperor has not been able to succeed, otherwise, the status of my Wei family in the capital has long been lost. Do you think your father would be so stupid as to destroy the Great Wall by himself, give the emperor a reason to remove the generals of the defenders of the capital and even punish him, and personally destroy the foundation that I have been operating in the capital for decades? β
"Dad, is it that serious?" Wei Wenjie was finally a little moved, but still asked suspiciously.
"Hmph." Wei Chilin snorted coldly, "Do I need to scare you?" β
Wei Wenjie gradually realized the seriousness of the matter, and couldn't help but be a little anxious: "Then what should I do?" Then the emperor kid won't really take these opportunities to remove all the defending generals or punish them, right? β
Wei Chilin said coldly: "If you were him, you wanted to do it, but you have been suffering from no chance, so you have been patiently waiting for a long time, and now that you finally have such a good opportunity, will you give up this opportunity easily?" β
Wei Wenjie really began to be anxious and worried, frowned and was silent for a moment, then raised his head and asked: "Is it possible that if I do what you just said, I can solve the crisis of my Wei family this time, and the emperor will have no excuse to remove and punish the generals of the defending army?" β
Wei Chilin sighed again, "You are too naΓ―ve, the matter has come to this, your father and I have no power to return to heaven, I can only save one and save one, and save one is one," after a while, he said angrily and hatefully: "If you talk about the contribution and role to the Wei family, any of those generals are more worthy of protection than you, but who made you my only son, I can only choose to protect you first and give up those good brothers who have followed me Wei Chilin for decades," Yan Bi looked at him and urged: "Hurry up and take your men and horses to the address I gave you to arrest people, After all, it can be regarded as making up for the merits and saving your position and your life! β
Wei Wenjie hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but ask, "Then who are those people you arranged?" When I turned around, I left a living mouth and brought it to Chen Wenyin, they won't talk nonsense, but it's a bad thing, right? β
"Hmph." Wei Chilin gave Wei Wenjie a roll of his eyes, "As long as you don't talk nonsense, don't do bad things." β
Wei Wenjie said dissatisfied: "Just now I said that my only son, you look down on your only son so much, I seem to be such a senseless person!" Anyway, you have to tell me what they will confess when the time comes, so I'm so mentally prepared in advance. β
Wei Chilin said coldly: "A year ago, the Liaodong bandits who were sent by the imperial court to encircle and suppress them escaped the net, and because of their dissatisfaction and hatred for the imperial court, they sneaked into the capital and waited for an opportunity to retaliate. β
Wei Wenjie glared at Wei Chilin in surprise, "Dad, you really have you, you can also figure it out, this is something that can't be beaten by eight poles so long ago, and it can still be turned out and used by you." β
Wei Chilin said angrily: "Nonsense! If you don't go and arrest someone, if you are preempted, no one will be able to save you! β
Wei Wenjie shrugged his shoulders, turned around and went out with all the people and went straight to the address Wei Chilin gave him.
Everything that happened after that developed in the direction arranged by Wei Chilin.
Wei Wenjie really found more than a dozen black-clothed masked people at the location indicated by Wei Chilin, and then almost effortlessly captured all the people and others, and immediately escorted them to Dali Temple and handed them over to Zuo Shaoqing Chen Wenyin.
Chen Wenyin easily pried open their mouths with little interrogation, and their confessions were the same as what Wei Chilin had told Wei Wenjie. Chen Wenyin, who received the confession from the black-clothed and masked people, did not dare to delay, and immediately rushed to the gate of the palace to report and wait for the transmission.
Zhao De didn't dare to slack off after receiving the report, and immediately reported to Zhuo Haoxuan.
Zhuo Haoxuan was surprised for a moment when he heard the news that he had captured all the black-clothed masked people, but soon a trace of clarity flashed in his eyes. Immediately, an order was issued to announce Chen Wenyin's audience.
After Chen Wenyin saw Zhuo Haoxuan, after saluting, without waiting for Zhuo Haoxuan to inquire, he immediately escorted Wei Wenjie to Dali Temple and truthfully told him about the process and results of his interrogation.
Zhuo Haoxuan listened to Chen Wenyin's performance quietly, and then asked some details, and after figuring out the ins and outs, he couldn't help but sneer: "What a Wei Chilin." β
Chen Wenyin guessed some of the inside story, and probably understood what Zhuo Haoxuan meant by this, but he didn't dare to answer without authorization, so he had to stand aside quietly as if he hadn't heard it.
After pondering for a long time, Zhuo Haoxuan instructed Chen Wenyin: "Since everyone has been arrested and they have confessed, then you should cooperate with them to finish singing this play, report the news that the hussar camp has captured all the black-clothed masked people, and post notices in the streets and alleys of the capital, and execute these Liaodong bandits who committed murder on the street in public at the execution ground tomorrow afternoon." β
Chen Wenyin was surprised, but after thinking about it, he still didn't dare to ask more, so he replied respectfully: "Yes, the minister will do it." β
After Chen Wenyin retreated, Zhao De couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, you know that this is a substitute ghost arranged by Wei Chilin, not a real black-clothed masked assassin, why did you let Lord Chen admit this result?" β
A mocking smile appeared on the corner of Zhuo Haoxuan's mouth, "Wei Chilin sacrificed so many lives, just to save his son Wei Wenjie, since he would choose to use this way, it proves that he also understands the consequences of this matter and my thoughts, thinking that this is already the only thing he can do to relieve this crisis," After a pause, he said regretfully: "Those defender generals are all stronger than Wei Wenjie, but Wei Chilin finally gave up those henchmen and chose to protect Wei Wenjie alone, although it is human nature to think about it. It is a reasonable thing, but this makes me a little disappointed, the scheming like Wei Chilin can't escape the weakness of human nature after all, he made an emotional decision instead of the most rational decision, and gave up the choice of maximizing his own interests, I was looking forward to whether Wei Chilin would make any surprising countermeasures this time! As for Wei Wenjie, this person has always been brave and unscrupulous, if he can remove and replace other generals in one fell swoop this time, even if he is left alone, it is not a problem, not to mention, according to me, it is still unknown whether leaving Wei Wenjie in the Royal Forest Army is a blessing or a curse for his Wei family, since he Wei Chilin wants to protect his son so much, then it will not hurt for me to fulfill him once. β
Zhao De suddenly reminded with some worry: "Your Majesty, Wei Chilin has always been ruthless, cunning and treacherous, with his temperament, he should not admit defeat and give up so easily, if he really handed over the defenders of the capital without resistance, the old slave felt a little worried, I'm afraid there will be fraud in this!" He has worked hard for decades and has worked hard to build a foundation, how could he be so easy to let go willingly! The emperor has to guard against it! β
Zhuo Haoxuan smiled confidently, "Zhao De, you really know Wei Chilin very well, you are right, but he is not afraid that there will be fraud, but he will definitely have a backhand!" On the one hand, it can calm the hearts of the people, on the other hand, it is also to fulfill his intention to protect Wei Wenjie, in order not to force him too tightly, otherwise it is difficult to guarantee that he will not jump off the wall in a hurry, although today, the power of the Wei family is not what it used to be, but after all, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, the Wei family has been carefully operating inside and outside the court for decades, and all kinds of relationships are intertwined, I have not fully figured it out at the moment, and I am not completely sure that the Wei family can be uprooted in one fell swoop, So now is not the time to force him to a corner, I still need time to plan and deploy, but this time such a good opportunity, I can't just give up in vain, so while suppressing him, I also want to leave him a glimmer of life, so that he feels that I don't dare to do too much to him, he will definitely think that there is still a chance to turn the tables, so that he will not be careless, and he will not do anything to ruin! β
